The Joystiq Indie Pitch: Battle Group
Indie developers are the starving artists of the video-game world, often brilliant and innovative, but also misunderstood, underfunded and more prone to writing free-form poetry on their LiveJournals. We at Joystiq believe no one deserves to starve, and many indie developers are entitled to a fridge full of tasty, fulfilling media coverage, right here. This week, Alistair Doulin of Bane Games talks tactical missions, platform-specific gameplay and the Australian development scene with Battle Group. What's your game called and what's it about? Battle Group is a tactical/action modern Navy game for iOS, Android, PC and Mac. Players command multiple warships drawn from the navies of the world and lead them into seaborne combat viewed from a top-down perspective. Simple tap and click mechanics make the game easy to jump into and a range of weapon types, new ship unlocks and a special ability system earned through experience points add depth to the experience. A pirate corporation has formed, attacking the trade routes of the world and the player must fight off this threat using the combined might of the Allied Nations.
